Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a hand made high school year book assembled by Veda L Carnes who attended New Salem High School in New Salem, North Dakota. She graduated in 1923. Book size about 6 by 9 inches. Bound in tan cloth over boards with front cover gilt lettering and image of a young woman. One of those early Yearbooks where the publisher provided an outline of what to enter in the book and then the student filled-in the book in whatever manner they chose. This is an unusual example of the type in that the student filled-in the book during her high school graduation year and then continued on with additional entries into the 1940's. She apparently became a teacher and there are entries here from her pupils, one of which today would probably get the child thrown out of school for racism. Many hand written entries from classmates and relatives and even three pages of cartoons, two of U. S. Geological Survey crew members along with their names and addresses. The book is filled with hand written entries and a very minimum of memorabilia I could say this is rare, but it is actually unique, one of a kind, as are all these old hand-made yearbooks.

First Edition. First Edition. Blank book-style yearbook (largely still blank) belonging to Elizabeth Floding with numerous inscriptions and well wishes from various students and faculty, including a four-line Gellett Burgess poem written to Floding by Margaret Mitchell: "I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one, I'll tell you one thing anyhow, I'd rather see than be one! Ha! Ha! Margaret Mitchell." Additional ephemera also laid in, including a piano recital program and various small photographs. "Gone With the Wind" writer Mitchell attended private girls' school Washington Seminary in Atlanta Georgia, where presumably Floding was a classmate. The book also contains an inscription to Floding from English teacher Eva Paisley, whom Mitchell would credit as the first to recognize her writing talent. Floding would go on to attend Emory University. Very Good plus, housed in a custom gray cloth chemise and gray leather slipcase decorated with gilt titles and decorative gilt roses.
